  • 用医学适配的Qwen-VL定位文本实体,判断是否与图像匹配。
  • 引入反事实扰动,通过真实与虚构定位对比提升检测准确率。
  • 无需修改模型即可检测幻觉,适用于多种医疗影像和模型。

大型视觉语言模型(LVLMs)在临床图像理解中应用日益广泛,但仍易产生不基于图像内容的文本幻觉。本文提出一种可追溯视觉证据的幻觉检测框架,无需修改或访问LVLM内部状态,即可审计任意响应。给定一个输出,提取可视觉验证的实体,并使用医学领域适配的Qwen-VL接地验证器在输入图像上定位每个实体。为增强鲁棒性,引入反事实实体扰动方法,通过对比真实与反事实接地结果估计视觉证据不确定性。具体地,基于正向置信度、反事实置信度及其接地重叠计算实体级不确定性分数,用于二元幻觉判定。在多种医学影像模态和LVLM主干网络上的实验表明,该方法持续优于近期基线,同时提供可解释的定位证据并具备强跨模型迁移能力。代码与数据集见https://github.com/Agentic-CliniAI/CounterVHD。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Large vision-language models (LVLMs) are increasingly used for clinical image understanding, yet they remain vulnerable to \emph{hallucinations}--producing textual findings or attributes not supported by the image. We present a vision-traceable hallucination detection framework that audits arbitrary LVLM responses via visual evidence grounding, requiring neither modification nor internal access to the hidden states of LVLMs. Given an LVLM response, we extract visually verifiable entities and use a medical-domain-adapted Qwen-VL grounding verifier to localize each entity on the input image. To enhance the robustness of our detection method, we introduce a counterfactual entity perturbation method and estimate visual evidence uncertainty by contrasting factual and counterfactual grounding results. Specifically, we compute an entity-level uncertainty score from the positive confidence, counterfactual confidence, and their grounding overlap for binary hallucination decision-making. Experiments on multiple medical imaging modalities and LVLM backbones demonstrate that our method consistently improves hallucination detection performance over recent baselines, while providing interpretable localization evidence and strong cross-model transferability. Code and dataset are available at https://github.com/Agentic-CliniAI/CounterVHD.
